What is a coronavirus test like? How are CDC kits handled? Here are the details:

https://www.sacbee.com/news/local/health-and-medicine/article240733946.html

Even if this test had been available before tomorrow, basically only a couple of hospital labs in America could even do this test.

Since, it basically requires a very high tec lab and highly trained people to do the test.

It still has to be sent by to CDC for a real diagnosis.

So how were the so called patients tested and declared that they had the CoronaVirus.

Try Presumptive Diagnosis not a real diagnosis.

So we will probably not have any real Definitive Diagnosis of CoronaVirus patients until probably after this week is over.

Presumptive Diagnosis are similar to assuming a patient has this virus.

What happens when we assume the results of something that is complicated?

I thinks tomorrow they are opening up the testing. I think a lot of teaching Universities (Like UMASS medical school) will be allowed.

I am not going to make predictions of numbers, but I am thinking the known cases will be much higher by the end of the week.

BUT, those cases are here TODAY. We need to keep that in mind. It will be a week or two before we get “good” numbers good growth.

I haven’t heard about contact tracing systems yet.
